About Rust

Rust, Instant, designed by Liz Danforth first released in Jun, 1994 in the set Legends. It see play in 1 formats: Commander. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 1.71.

Rust would be particularly beneficial in decks that focus on disrupting artifact-based strategies, such as those featuring powerful artifacts or combo pieces, making it a solid choice in formats where such decks are prevalent. However, while Rust can effectively counter activated abilities from artifacts, cards like Pithing Needle or Sorcerous Spyglass provide broader utility by shutting down a wider range of activated abilities from various sources, making them potentially better options. Ultimately, Rust can see play in niche scenarios, especially in metagames heavy with artifact synergies, but its effectiveness may be limited compared to more versatile alternatives.
